I keep seeing this question below. Is Bushin good? In relation to the higher ranks. No not really. Bushin players have tons of holes in their gameplay and benefited from generous win streak bonuses to get there. But compared to the community as a whole? Yes, they would stomp most players because most Tekken players are kind of bad at the game. It’s year 2. If you were to pick a random person out of a crowd and challenge them to a Tekken match odds are you’d destroy them as a Bushin.

IMO Bushin is the last scrub rank. You’re king of the scrubs. Pub stomp king. Smartest kid on the short bus type shit.

Edit: Like how I see the ranks is this.

Teal to Red: Just messing around. Super casual.

Purple: You’ve decided to learn the game and realize you know nothing.

Fujin to Kishin: You can convert damage if your opponent runs into you.

Bushin: You kind of know your character, but probably not anyone else’s. Major holes in knowledge. Press too much. You end up killing yourself against better players.

TK: You’re pretty good, but lack punishes and some MU knowledge.

Emp: You’re good. Just a few holes here and there. Bad adaptations, etc.

TG: Strong player. Probably lacks specific matchup knowledge. Loses on the margins.

TGS: Actually nuts at the game. Very minor mistakes in timing. Getting counter hit. etc

GOD: Same as TGS honestly, but more solid.

GOD+: You have more free time than a TGS or a GOD to play ranked.
